Cottages in Kawara

The hosts are the definition of hospitality. They went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of and were more than happy to share what was around the surrounding area so we had always things to do. Fluent in both Japanese and English, the hosts were always a joy to speak with and the amount of hidden gems in this area are incredible! They also offer a traditional tea ceremony option which was extremely enlightening — it felt like I was in the Shogun series! The property/room is pristine and newly renovated. It’s an extremely clean and is the most modern, traditional Japanese property I’ve ever been in. A big plus is that they allowed dogs and the surrounding area is perfect for dog owners. The detail in the designs and renovations make this property immaculate. Rarely do property pictures accurately depict what you really get … but this one hits the mark. I cannot thank Matt & Ikumi enough for making this visit a true golden experience to remember. By far the best stay I’ve have ever had at a property and can’t wait to visit again.
